This datasets contains three data sets collected during a suite of experiments examining the effects of suspended sediments on the fast start performance and antipredator behaviour (activity level and thigmotaxis) of Amphiprion melanopus juveniles:
1) Dataset 1, thigmotaxis: This dataset contains measurements of the distance between test fish and the center of the experimental arena, which was determined every 3 seconds throughout a 2 minutes test period.
2) Dataset 2, activity levels: This dataset contains the total distance moved by each fish throughout a 2 minutes test period.
3) Dataset 3, fast starts: This dataset contains measurements of the response latency to a simulated predator attack; average escape speeds, maximum escape speeds, and distance escaped within the first 24 ms of the escape response of the fish. This data was collected using high speed (480 frames per second) videos.
All of this data was collected at the Marine and Aquaculture Research Facility Unit (MARFU) at James Cook University, Townsville between March and June 2016.
